GeForce Now is a game streaming service. It was previously possible to use it on deck, but Nvidia is making it much easier to install and get set up. They also recently improved gamepad navigation of their service.

To install, go to their install page in desktop mode and scroll down to the steam deck option. Download and run the script.

The advantage of streaming services like this is getting great performance on lower power devices, and minimal battery usage.

Been a GeForce Now user since the Shield TV launch. It's a great thing to have when I don't want to drag a laptop or console around with me while traveling. $5 a month is absolutely worth it, especially considering it uses my existing libraries.

I have a Founders account, it's $5. Not sure what the new customer tier prices are.

But, for the classic "cup of coffee a month" it's been worth keeping active since they moved to a paid model however many years ago. The first several years were free if you owned a shield TV.

Additionally, they still offer a 100% free tier to anybody.
